Hi Shubhankit

Thanks very much for your interest in our project. May I suggest that the best first step for you would be to get the code up and running so that you can see for yourself where the limitations in our canvas-based tool lie.

There are certainly plenty of opportunities for a capable person to improve this tool, and there is no reason why it couldn't be a very power general-purpose modelling tool once complete.

Cheers
JP

Hello,

I am Shubhankit Mohan, a 4th year engineering undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur.Being honest I am new to Open Source Development and I have never worked on any open source project before.I liked ASCEND as I have immense interest in coding, pure mathematics and algorithms.I have both a good programming background and a good mathematics background. I've worked in a number of programming languages including Python,C++ and Java. Mathematically, my strengths are largely in algebra,statistics and computing but I've taken courses in a variety of different subjects.

After looking at the suggested projects list I have found the following project to be especially interesting.

Idea 1:
I looked at the project ideas, and the project on Parameter handling for the canvas-based modeller which seems interesting to me. I have looked closely at the literature given and was wondering what parts of the code might be relevant to look at, and what specific flaws are present in the current handling of the parameters or what literature might be relevant for the second step of the project.


I have no experience in open-source projects, but I really want to get into it and contribute my part in it.My studies end on May 10th , so from the very beginning of the summer I can fully devote myself to the project.I work on Mac OS X Lion and Win 7.



Thanks
